Added a new HTML export option to write the contents of subtables without the use of tables (this may help make Word exports easier to edit).

Sorting by date did not work if the database only provided a month and year (no day). We've extended date sorting to work with months. The default sort type for Start and Completion dates in the clinical trials databases has been set to Date.

Added several variations for Phase 1/2 and Phase 2/3 to our sorting order for development phase.

We've tried to improve the behavior of the installer when the user doesn't have Administrator privileges, including warning you if you pick an install directory which isn't writeable. Also fixed a bug in the menu and desktop short cuts if you didn't install to the default location.

A small number of users upgrading from Version 3.3 to Version 3.4 found that when they opened a chart file or an import file, Version 3.3 would launch instead of the new software. This is fixed when installing this version.

When saving a chart, the entire chart will be freshly written every time. This has been the case for Save As for a long time.

The Sort panel now starts with the current column selected. Also there is now a toolbar button for sorting.

Added a new command to hide the current column.

The URL for Patbase Express direct links has changed. The software has been updated to work with the new URL.

Version 3.4 features a number of improvements for support of Windows 7 and Vista.

We recommend that customers who require an in-house certification process for new software begin the process with Version 3.4.

A new installation package now supports Administrator installations and many other common Windows features.

Application settings and saved templates are now stored in a user-writeable directory, not in the installation directory.

During installation, you now have the option to take over the handling of file types used by BizInt Smart Charts for Patents and Drug Pipelines, as well as the AdisInsight and Citeline editions of BizInt Web Charts.

Details of all the changes which affect installation and administration of BizInt Smart Charts can be found at bizcharts.com/version3.4.

Phase 4 clinical trials now sort after "Launched" in Development Phase sorts.

A small change to the View Rows panel now shows the row list starting with the current row. Once changes are made, the chart remains at the same position. Likewise for View Columns and Apply Template, the chart no longer jumps back to the top.

Fixed a few bugs in links generated to full-text patents: EP A links to Micropatent; pre-2003 WO links to esp@cenet.
